g(ttLIKKM)A , .Ii i * ‘The price of Lihsrtv is eternal vigilance.” From the Halifax Journal. I urther Correspondonee between the Citi zens of Bertie and Governor Branch. I TWWaor,T4//t May. 1831. Sir: The undersigned, citizens of the 2d Congressional District, reposing entire con-. fideacc in your talents and political experi cnff£, arc solicitous that you should become a candidate to represent this district in the next Congress. We do believe that the present state of parties renders .il_essentially impor tant that we should be ably represented in that body. The recent attack on the administra tion by Mr. Tazewell, however correct the principle for which lie contended, we are constrained to believe mainly resulted from a disposition on his part, to render odious the then administration. We greatly deplore the discord and disunion that have been produced by the alleged intrigues of Mr. Van Buren, and by the publication of Mr Calhoun; of the •xistence of the former, we are destitute of the proof, but the baneful influence of the lat ter is too palpable to be overlooked by any friend ofthe President. At the next session Of Congress, it is believed that an etFort (with •ome, perhaps a last effort) w ill be made to modify the present tariff, so as to render it less burthenseme to the South. The renew- al of the charter of the D. S. Bank, may be expected to become a topic of discussion in the course of a few more sessions. We firm ly believe that such an institution has no "warrant in our constitution, and are perfect ly convinced that it it were constitutional, that its dangers far transcend its benefits. We have sir, frankly stated our feelings A opinions. We trust that they arc in accord ance with yours, and we are free to say, that if the fact be so, that there is no man in this district or State whom we would select to rep resent us sooner than vourself. GEO. B. OUTLAW, ROB. C. WATSON, &c. lion. Jon\ Branch. Enfield, May 31st, 1831. Gentlemen: Yours of the 14th instant, post marked, \\ indsor the -Ist, came to hand a few days past. The confidence which you have be en so kind as to express in my talents arid political experience, and the desire you have manifested that 1 should become a can didate to represent this District in the next Congress ot the United States, together with the frank manner, jn which you have given - Jouropinion of certain men and measures! with a view to elicit mine, merit iny respect ful consideration and shall receive my prompt I Attention. 1 most decidedly concur with you in believing that discord has been introuuc* 1 ed into the ranks ot the administration by the .intrigues of selfish politicians. A short time I trust, will be sufficient to enable the intel ligent enquirer to obtain the whole truth. ‘ Until then, perhaps, it would be the part of prudence to leave the question open, and rely on the righteous judgment of the people.— However, recognizing your undoubted right to know all my opinions, both as to the prom inent men and leading measures of the conn try, I will with that frankness which has ev er characterised my conduct, give you unre servedly my impressions, under a confident hope that as you have called for them, at a period when I must necessarily incur a heavy responsibility in giving them,’ that you will extend to me your generous charities for any error into which I may be thus incautiously led ; for there is nothing about which men are so apt to differ, nay to err, as their opinion of men. In the first place, then,'as to the motives which influenced Mr. T. in his course in the Senate of the United States on the Turkish mission. I profess to know nothing. With Mr. Nan iluren, i have had frequent, person al and official intercourse, and the time was when he possessed my confidence. Mr. Calhoun s private virtues and public services, particularly during the late war, together with his high order of talents, always commanded wiy respect; but hislatitodinous political doc trines during Mr. Monroe’s administration, znet my disapprobation, lienee it is that no oae correctly informed, has ever considered me his pblitical partisan. As to myself, I can truly say that I have no person in view for the succession. lamat a loss to say who a mong the prominent politicians I ought to sip port. Fortunately for me and the country, this question may yet be advantageously post poned. Tha present controversy between General sack3on and Mr.Clay, can never divide South ern politicians to any extent. The “Ameri can System,” the hobby of the latter, has but Jew advocates among Southern planters, and its author still fewer adherents. On Gen. Jackson then, who is himself a planter, we must depend with a Coiifidcnt reliance on the justice of Congress lor relief against the op pression of a system of exactness, which if persevered in, must ultimately lead to the most calamitous results. The gn at and fun damental principles which divide our country into parties, are of momentous concern, and are every way worthy of the untiring vigil ance of the American people. The Journals of the Senate of the United States for the six years that I was a member of that body, will best shew my opinion on tim Tariffs of 1824 and 18, which now threaten the repose of the Union, and the prosperity of the Southern country. These afford an earnest of the course which I shall feel it to he iny duty to pursue -in reference to any measures which may he calculated to repeal or mitigate this “bill of abominations,” as it has been emphatically called by one ctf its present most active anil cffi 'icnt supporters. Tlie next point, to which you invite my at tention, is the Bank of the United States. I ran unable to perceive how lean vote for tlie renewal of the charter in any Form. My o pinion in relation to Banks is of long stand ing and has, in North Carolina at least, be come somewhat a matter of public notoriety. I have believed that it was the intention foj the : Miners of the Federal Constitution, that the currency of the U. States should have 1 been metallic, and I inferred this from the j technical language employed,and the exclu-l Rive power given to Congress to coin money j and gjiii-X* its vuiuC, with the positive ii.-! THE MACON ADVERTISER, AND AGRICULTURAL AND MERCANTILE INTELLIGENCER. hi Lotion oil the states to do the same thing, or to emit bills of cre-dif, or to make any thing but gold and silver coin a tender in payment' ot debts. But the ingenuity cf man lias sought out many inventions, and the person would bethought mad, who, at this dav, would seriously urge the above opinion, findingev erv State in the union has chartered Banks and thereby indirectly regulated the value of money as effectually as though they had the power to coin it. A national bank has been recommended by the President with certain well defined pow ers. I am persuaded that the President’s views have noVer been fairly presented or un derstood. He, lam sure, never Contempla ted the establishment of such a hideous mon ster as his political opponents have conjured up. Such an institution in the hands of the executive, for any other purpose, or with any other powers than the transmission of govern ment funds, from one part of the union to an other, I should deprecate as the greatest ca lamity that could befal the country. I bus, gentlemen, I have responded to you fully and freely. 1 have no concealment in politics. My principles remain now, as in K!4B, when they were first formed at College. They have undergone no change that I am sensible ot. *• 1 hey have grown with my growth, and strengthened with iny strength.” I have the liour to be, with'the highest respect, your fellow citizen. rp „ JOHN BRANCH.

Our late President and his Secretary of the I reasury have recently given us a strange ex ample ol the lorce of sympathy—and of the striking mfierencc in its operations upon great men, and upon ordinary mortals. When Morgan was first carried off, ami as it is pre sumed destroyed, it produced general indie nation among the people—a virtuous excite ment, which actuated them to make great ef forts to ascertain the perpetrators of the crime, and bnngthern to punishment. This was the natural feeling and conductofan honest com munity—it was an occasion which called for extraordinary interference, and Messrs. Ad ams and Rush would have been excused, un iter its impulse, if, remote as they were from ttie scene, they had interposed to have the ex isting laws executed, or to have instituted others more effectual for the future. But it was not until after the man who .is supposed to hare foiled Morgan was in his grave and all the rest suspected had been tried and ac quitted, or punished according to the grade of their offence, that our Ex-Dignitanes began to interest themselves in the matter. Their sympathies never were touched until they felt that they could give the affair a political com plex'on. I his reached their instincts, and after Mrs. Morgan herself had forgotten her wrongs, and married a mason, the tears of our politicians began to flow. ihe editor cl this print is not a mason, nor was he ever connected with any secret associ ation.

Adams and Rush, against masonry is not rendered suspicious by their associa t.ons. hey are known to be devoted friends of Mr. t lay, a mason of high order, and to ex ert all their political influence to secure liis election to the Presidency— and yet these men seek to identify themselves with the anti masonic party, t u wield its influence in favor ol Mr. Clay, by separating it from the sup port ol the 1 resident. It is known that it, the ast contest a majority of the masons opposed the election el General Jackson—that the votes o! town and professional gentlemen were lorthe most part against him—and that he was called by the farmers, and men wholly unconnected with artificial and professional associations, to the station in which he acts lor their benefit. But now the leaders of jun tos appeal to a class ol' citizens, the anti-ma sons, and seek to make a trainband of them to give success to schemes which depend for their accomplishment upon secret coalitions, professional associations, and the hidden and *i ill uenee of a great Incorporation ot wealth working in the darkness ol a vault. 1 i,e B*® ut cwnplaint of the anti-masons is the invisible power w hich they presume may be exerted by the society of masons, upon the political destinies of the country, and the fate f IW '’ k . a ‘ e “xhv'duals.

ON THE CULTURE OF COTTON. BV TIIOS. PARKER “Calhoun Settlement, Abbeville District, 30th March, 1831. Dear Sir, —In compliance of your request to “communicate iny mode of cultivating tny cotton crop,” I now proceed to do so; not from an expectation that I can communi cate any thing new, but from the belief, that if planters will, through vour journal, give to their brethren the bencfiit of their experi ence, the Agriculture of the South would be greatly improved. I have certainly been in structed by it, and am willing to contribute my mite in return, however diffident I may feel in doing so. The mode I pursue, in cultivating this crop, is that which, with but some trilling'va riations, is the course adopted throughout my neighbourhood. Having already inform ed you of the manner in which I prepare the ground for and plant my crop, I will proceed to its cultivation. My corn and potatoes be ing always first planted are the first worked, and then my cotton. In doing this the first time, I ring round the cotton with the plough (either the Gofer or a small moul-board plough, if the latter, turning the bar to the cotton) as .near as I can w ithout throwing dirt to it, and plough the middles faithfully with a shovel or moul-board plough; so ap portioning the hoes to the ploughs, that the latter shall be in advance of the former one day and no more. The liccs follow the ploughs—my directions to the workers being “chop through the drills, leaving the cotton in hills the width of the hoe apart—leave from three to foiw stalks in each hill, and haul up a little dirt to the plants.” 1 have no fear of the cotton dying to any extent after this working: some may; but the advantage gain ed in causing the cotton when thus tliined out to grow oft vigorously, 1 consider more than equivalent for the little loss sustained by the dying of a few stalks- There is no better way of putting a stop to the dying ol the young cotton than to work it well. Mv! cotton being worked over in this manner, li return to my corn and potatoes; after work-j ing which, 1 come back and give my cotton aj second working. In doing this I plough the middles thoroughly, running very near to the cotton. At this stage it requires some judg ment to determine whether the dirt should be thrown hv the ploughs to the cotton or not li the grass is too large to be effectually kill ed by smothering it with dirt and the dirt is thrown to it, the hoe hands, must push the! dut away with their hoes befoie they can get at the grass tocut it up, which puts it out of their power to work over as much ground or do it as well as they otherwise could. The hoes follow the [doughs, (the latter are otic day ahead) my directions to the workers be ing “leave not a green thing in the field bull the cotton—in no place let me -see more than one stalk, and haul up a plenty of dirt to the cotton.” Some of my neighbours leave two stalks in a bill; where there is a larger gap than usual between two mills; bull think this wrong, inasmuch as 1 believe that one stalk in such a situation will yield as much as the two, probably the staple of the cotton will be better, and certainly it can be easier [tick ed out as the bolls will be larger. Haring worked over my cotton in this manner the se cond time, I return to my corn and jtolatocs and work them the third time. This done, 1 give my cotton its third working. The cot ton being now sufficiently strong tq bear* good moulding, I throw as much earth as 1 can to it with the ploughs, and also plough well the alleys. The hoes follow, un-over-! ing any plants that the ploughs may have cov ered—cutting out the bundles of grass, and hauling up earth wherever required. At this working one of my neighbours, a successful planter, sends his hoes before his ploughs.'- ; 1 prefer, however, the other way. My pota toes are again attended to if they require it, and my Corn generally, though not always the entire crop, worked over the fourth time; this depends on many Mv cotton always receives a fourth working. At this time if the cotton has not branched Out too much to permit it, I again ;plougiT it, but do not plough very near it nor vet-y'dedp. I D*' hoes chop out any bupches of 'mass which mav have been left at the lasi work ing With this work ing; my cotton is gener ally laid by ; but if the season has here to lore been dry and the cotton not well branch ed, and lrcqucnt rains should now occur, much young grass will sprout lip, and a fifth ploughing, done eery shallow arid not near to the cotton, w ill be requisite; not so much to increase the production, as by destroying this young grass to facilitate the [licking out of the cotton and picking it dean; for this grass if not destroyed, w ill attain a considerable growth. I task my hoe hands ; in doing which, to do justice to yourself and the worlf ers, requires that judgement which can be formed only from experience and careful ob servation. At the first working they gener ally do me three-fourths of an acre if cotton was not planted the last year in the same tiehl; but if it was, they can generally hoe an acre* On the second being, they gener uli\ do three-fourth of an acre, sometimes only half an acre* I plant six acres of cot ',on Bin hand, which is about the usual quantity planted in my neighbourhood. Ido not make as large cotton crops as some of my neighbours; I am content with three to! three and a halt hales of coffon fo the hand l with my provisions and pork ; but some few make four bales, and last year, two of mv neighbours made five to the hand. In such eases I have vanity enough, however, to at tribute this to better lands. I have no over seer, nor indeed is there one in the neigh bourhood; we pi rsonally attend to our plant ing interest, believing that as good a manure as.uny, if not the bust, we can apply to our fields, is the print of the master’s footstep. — One of my neighbours w ho is a judicious and j successful planter uses alternately the plough! or an iron toothed harrow in working his cot-1 ton. His laud is a high, loose, rich mulatto t soil, and much troubled with grass; but as mine is of a closer texture, liable to bake j and become hard, I have not even thought it advisable to try ins plan. Where the harrow can be used for this purpose with success, fully half of the ploughman’s labour is saved. When I first commenced planting as a pro fession, I worked every part of mv. cotton crop in rotation, in the order in which it was planted; but experience had proved to me, that however systematic this plan may be, it is bad in practice. I now work such parts of my fields first, as require it most, without car ing which was planted first or worked last.— Experience has also taught me to “keep a bright lookout ahead” for rainy weather, and if I discover the least appearance of it, I ex amine with care such parts of my fields as lie low, and if I think it necessary, work them ovtr immediately; for although the grass may then be young and easily destroyed; yet if such parts of a field are caught the least out of order, by a warm, leaking spell of wet weather (as it is sometimes called) the grass will hare made fearful progress bv the time the ground is dry enough to he worked ; and it will not only take twice the labour to put it m order that it should be, but in doing so, the workers will destroy much of the young cot ton after it has been thinned out, and this ne cessarily lessens the crop. A planter should always know the exact situation of cvcry part of crop, or he will sometimes be taken by surprise ; and the only way to obtain this knowledge is, frequently to go over and ex amine bis fields. If it is true that “the mas ter’s eye makes the horse fat,” ’tis equally true that the print of the master’s footseps ma nures the field. Yours, respectfully. THOMAS PARKER. BUDDING. In the Agricultural Journal of the Pays Bas, it is recommended to reverse the usual mode of raising the bark for inserting the buds, and to make the cross cut at the bot tom of the slit instead of the top, as is done in Britain; the hud is said rarely to fail of suc cess because it receives abundanceof the de scending sap, which it cannot receive when it is under the cut. | “Just m the twig is bent, the tree 's inclined.’-' j From the Federal Union. j ; _ EDUCATION. In a conversation with an intelligent gen-’ tleinan a few days since, tlie question Was asked, w liethcr there ought not to be more j than three learned professions? AVe replied that the office of Teachers ought to be ele vated to the dignity of a learned profession. This opinion was given at the moment, with- 1 j out much previous reflection. A more ma- ! tore consideration of the subject has abtiiid-i antl v confirmed this off-hand suggestion. 1 here are many able divines whose read ing extends but little beyond the lids of the sacred volume—many eminent physicians \\ hose skill mid celebrity have been advan j ced by the medical library alone—many ef ficient and profound lawyers whose informa tion is bounded by those branches immedi ately connected with their own profession.—! | Bat where is the boundary that ought to limit j the extent and variety of the Teacher’s at-1 tainments ? Ilow miserable and glaring must J appear his deficiencies, if his miiufis not stored with the deep and varied resources necessary to the successful practice of this Jiirst ot Professions ? It should embrace the elements at least of every branch of knowl edge and education. It is the office of the 1 cacher to lay the foundation of ever}’oth er profession. It is his office to impart tlie first lessons of religion, morality, patriotism, law, medicine, science generally, polite learning, ; tne fine arts, industry, economy and virtue. I Id a few words, there is no situation in life public or private—no employment, male or I female,to which the office of a qualified t ach er is not more or less important. There is no department of business to which a thorough and intimate acquaintance with the philoso phy of the human character arc so essential j as to that ot the Teacher. No intelligent i man will deny the truth of these positions i no respectable teacher will question them.— Yet wc would respectfully ask, where is there .a class of men and women so ill prepared for their profession as the great majority of those who preside over the minds, characters and manners of our children? How few among! them seem to have felt the dignity and impor tance of their employment, and the high re- j spbnsibilities of their station ! M e are rejoiced therefore to sec that such | men as Brown, Cummin and others arc on-! listing the public attention on the important subject of a Contention of Teachers. AVe shall resume the subject. For the present, we will close by suggesting to those benefac tors of mankind a question for their consider-! ation— whether an Institution should not he organized in our State or country for the pur- 1 pose of preparing men and women for the ! profession of Teaching —a college' if you please ?■—in the same way that wc have medi cal, law, and divinity Colleges. Our columns are always open for light on the subject of Education. A irtuous education, and habits of industry, ! make a better inheritance for children than at great estate. AVe arc very solicitous to ac quire property, hut too often care but little; vvliat sort of heirs we leave it to. • | In men there is a lump upon the windpipe! formed by the thyroid cartilage, which is not t to be seen in women.

CAPITAL .OVERFLOWING! We sec in the northern papers continual proofs of the abundance of capital in the nor thern cities.—Sobutimcs an iminmense fac tory established,, such as the one at Lowed with a capital of more than a million of dol lars—sometimes a Rail Road; and then a Ca nal, established by a munificent contribution. The X. York Evening Post [by last evening’s mail] gives us the following additional facts: ' “The Commissioners of the Ilurluim Rail Road Company have not yet got through re gistering the names of applicants for that stock. 'Pile subscriptions are generally for twenty shares , and the number of subscribers will exceed 3000, making the total amount of subscription about 3,000,000 of dollars, for a capital of 350,000 dollars. “ Merchants' Exchange Bank.— The sub scription books for the capital stock of this bank closed yesterday at 3 o’clock, and up wards of 4,800,000, probably 5,000,000 dol lars have been subscribed ! The whole amount of capital required was only 730,000 dollars! New York State Marine Insurance. —The remaining capital of this institution was paid in yesterday. The company have taken an office in Wall street, and will immediately commence business.” Here we have two Institutions only (one of a Rail Road, and the other of a Bank) the subscriptions to which amount to eight mill ions of dollars ! while their conjoint capital is only $1,100,000 —that is, eight times the amount of the sum required. It is the same case, with many other Companies. b’carcely is any promising enterprise displayed—and the books of-subscription opened, with any plausible recommendation to the public sup port, but capitalists come forward to venture their money. Money indeed, seems to a hound in the northern towns, it is not mere ly the capital which has accumulated in those places—but it is sent from other countries lor sale and profitable investment. Tlie annual payments towards the public debt of the U -States throw a large amount into market— which is looking out tor advantageous em ployment. All that they have to do, is to convince the Capitalists that the stock is like ly to rise; that it is safely invested, and will bring in a handsome dividend—and they can be in ho want ot hinds to carry on their great, public enterprizes. It this be the ease in the North, why should it not be so in Virginia ? Why should we not expect the Stock of the New River Rail Road to e partly subscribed by the Northern Capitalists, it such an Expose can be made of the value of the enterprise as may be calcula ted to ensure a satisfactory dividend ?

NN c saw yesterday evening a lump of Gold in the possession of Mr. Voiliain Mitchell, jeweller in this city, which Mr. M. had chased for S3 l o, It weighs nearly two pounds, and is esteemed so pure, that he has allowed a discount of only four per cent, from the actual weight. It was found in a gold mine in Mecklenburg county, North Caroli na, embedded in rock, which the miner was breaking in pi iccs> The title of the land is disputed, and the operations of mining there, are for the present suspended. This piece of the precious metal which belongs to Mr. M itchell, is a specimen of what may he here after extracted troiu tlie mine under more fa vorable auspices. \V C observe also, in a late Yorkvillc, R. C. Pioneer, an account of a gold mine which has been lately discovered in Union District, in that neighborhood—the ore is so rich as to give from 6 to 8 dollars a day to each hsnd. UNITED STATE'S BANK. The government is entitled to one-fifth oj the profit* of this institution, as it ow ns one filth of the stock, and those entrusted by the people, with the management of their inter ests should at least make an effort to arrest the illegal expenditure of their funds by the agents of the Bank and its branches. The charter certainly does not authorize the. pub lishing, by tue Bank, of newspaper philippic? and unfounded calumnies of the President of tlie United States and of extravagant [Kinc gvrics on the Bank. Those presses that have fattened on Bank paper, have in the most scandalous manner traduced the President of the U. States, be cause in a few instances he bestowed incon siderable offices on some of the conductors of the press, and charged him with a venal in tent to corrupt the fountain of information. If there he danger Of the press being influenced by unworthy stimulants the means of the Bank arc most potent. Its secret agents can distribute iri scxret the needful. I rom what wc have seen and hoard vo have no doubt hundreds of thousands of M’- Duflie s report in favor of the Bank, an equal number of Mr. Gallatin’s remarks on rcchar termg (he Bank, as also the abusive review ot Mr. Benton’s speech against the Bank, as a!so of the appeal to the members of tlie State Legislature, &c. have been printed in extra papers, and circulated far and wide at the ex pense of the Bank. The managers of that institution appear to he sensible cf the inflii cncc of the press in giving a tone to public opinion, and they have, it would appear, made ahold essay to anticipate the friends of the 1 resident. In most eases the most popular publications have been secured—tim Bunk ha? money; and money, it is not nr C < ssnry to remarx, is a most potent agent— if money can he I nought to bear on C’ongnss, directly or iin.irectly, wc may calcirlale it will not be spared to ensure a renewal of the charter.
